The Martian (12): 4 Aug 2017, 8pm (Free Screening)

This summer, At-Bristol are holding their first ever Festival of What If – a six week celebration of what it is to be curious. Each fortnight, they'll be thinking about a different question, where their spaces will come alive with new weird and wonderful activities based on this theme.

Plot: ‘During a manned mission to Mars, Astronaut Mark Watney is presumed dead after a fierce storm and left behind by his crew. But Watney has survived and finds himself stranded and alone on the hostile planet. With only meager supplies, he must draw upon his ingenuity, wit and spirit to subsist and find a way to signal to Earth that he is alive. Millions of miles away, NASA and a team of international scientists work tirelessly to bring "the Martian" home, while his crewmates concurrently plot a daring, if not impossible, rescue mission. As these stories of incredible bravery unfold, the world comes together to root for Watney's safe return’. (Written by 20th Century Fox).

Seating: Limited deckchair seating is provided on a first come first served basis. So why not bring your own blankets, chairs or cushions. (Please also remember to wear warm clothes).

Food: Pack a picnic or pick up something hot from the At-Bristol Café (menu coming soon).
